Advanced Therapeutic Services Offers Quality Addiction Rehab in Rancho Mirage, CA
Just as the education community has discovered there are seven distinct styles of learning—some kids learn visually, some are auditory learners, some are physical learners, etc.—the same type of distinction can be made for how people respond differently to various forms of addiction treatment. Humans have very individualized wiring; affecting our beliefs and preferences and distinctly impacting what stimuli we will respond to.
Trends in addiction treatment have led it to become rote and mechanical, the exact opposite of how treatment for drug and alcohol dependency should be designed. There shouldn’t be any preconceived boxes for the person seeking treatment to fit in to! At Advanced Therapeutic Services (ATS), a leading addiction rehab in Rancho Mirage, California, our entire program is customized to the individual. ATS offers Intensive Outpatient Programs (IOP), which allow the client to continue to work, attend school, and actively parent when appropriate, offering a sound alternative to inpatient treatment rehabs.
At ATS we believe that a person’s potential for real, sustained change lies in the program’s ability to identify unique personal traits in our clients, and then match those with the appropriate treatment plan and therapeutic modality. By taking the time to do a deep assessment of the prospective client, ATS can customize its treatment program to align with all aspects of their mental, physical, and spiritual well-being. As a result, our clients are responsive to their therapy instead of resentful of it. This allows the client to feel a sense of ownership of his or her recovery, leading to a successful outcome.
A Holistic Approach to Recovery
ATS addiction rehab in Rancho Mirage serves people who are suffering from drug or alcohol addiction, as well as co-occurring conditions such as depression, anxiety, and other mental health issues. At ATS we offer a smorgasbord of different types of therapy, each with its own clinical focus. Based on the Living in Balance (LIB) Curriculum, an approach oriented for group settings, our program techniques are drawn from cognitive, behavioral, and experiential treatment aspects, with an important emphasis on relapse prevention.
Topics addressed in the LIB program cover the gamut, but all are pertinent to a recovering addict’s life. Some of these include:
- Attitudes and beliefs
- Negative emotions
- Nutrition
- Sleep disturbances
- Anger and communication
- Sexuality
- Spirituality
- Money management
- Grief and loss
- Education and vocational development
Throughout the program, clients learn how to monitor their feelings and behavior, and how to use relaxation and visualization techniques. Clients are taught how to conduct self-assessments and to actively implement effective coping and relapse prevention skills.
By offering classes that teach life skills, mindfulness, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT), and even art and music therapy, our diverse and eclectic program offers many different avenues that all lead to the ultimate destination: lifelong recovery from addiction.
ATS Family Program
Most people live their lives within some form of a family unit. Addiction can wreak havoc on families, causing serious breaches of trust and pushing the family dynamic into stress and turmoil. The family unit is our safe harbor, so ATS places a great deal of emphasis on its Family Program in order to mend the damage that addiction has caused within the family, helping it to begin the healing process.
The ATS Family Program offers several tools for the family to access during the recovery journey with their loved one. Topics include:
- Understanding the disease of addiction
- The faces of addiction
- Relapse prevention
- Communication
- Forgiveness
- Co-dependency
- Roles in dysfunctional families
The Family Program offers solace to members of the families who learn that they are not alone as they discover how much they have in common with each other. ATS encourages families to bond with each other, where a common camaraderie elicits a sense of comfort and support. Family Program is conveniently schedule on weekends to accommodate the busy lives of our client’s families.
